As long as [1] aren't fixed, the attached patch could be used as workaround. This workaround drops 183 Session Progress w/o SDP.

The attached workaround assumes, that 183 Session Progress w/o SDP is followed by 180 Ringing. If there isn't any 180 Ringing following, this patch won't fix anything. In
the latter case, it would be necessary to generate inband ringing by asterisk or send 180 Ringing instead of the broken 183 Session Progress.

The workaround applies to 13.24.1.



Caller		Asterisk				ISP
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Invite -------->
...
			<-----------------------	183 Session Progress w/o SDP
			<-----------------------	180 Ringing
<---------------180 Ringing
...



Another 183 Situation with *P-Early-Media* header
=================================================

Caller		Asterisk			ISP
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Invite -------->
...
		    <--------------------------		183 Session Progress w SDP / P-Early-Media:sendonly
<-------------	183 Session Progress w SDP sendrecv
<-------------  RTP
--------------> RTP
		    <--------------------------		180 Session Progress w/o SDP / P-Early-Media:sendonly
		    <--------------------------		RTP (inband ringback)
...

=> the sendonly-value of P-Early-Media seems to be ignored. Asterisk doesn't apply the sendonly value of the P-Early-Media header of the 183 Session Progress package
received from the ISP to the 183 Session Progress sent to the caller.
But this is not a problem, as the ringback can still be transferred.

Michael
